Discover great bars and lounges for romance

You’ve brought your lover to Las Vegas but now you need to know where to take them. The pressure is o , my friends, because we’ve made the choice for you. Any of the following spots are perfect for a romantic rendezvous.

Sleek and sexy with a bit of old-school Vegas glamour is what S Bar at Mandalay Bay o ers. The lounge, fi lled with dark woods, brass accents, luxe drapery and plush seating, o ers eclectic live music and an impressive menu of specialty cocktails. Beautiful in presentation and delicious in fl avor, the cocktails are a mix of fresh fruits, juices and herbs. Might we suggest the That’s What I Like option—for $75 per person you get champagne and strawberries all evening.

While many people opt for dinner at Mayfair Supper Club at Bellagio, we prefer the lounge area for cocktails and conversation. The supper club feel and décor is simply stunning. We recommend grabbing a seat at the bar and browsing through an impressive menu of champagne (we love the champagne cocktails!), wine and both modern and classic cocktails. The ambience will truly transport you and your sweetie to oldschool Vegas.

For a date with awesome views, head to Alle Lounge on 66 at Resorts World. Entering the lounge on the 66th fl oor will feel and look like you’ve entered some very rich person’s New York City loft. The look and design of the space is quite slick, with fl oor-to-ceiling windows that look out over the city. There’s plenty of sofa seating and club chairs. And Alle on 66 also provides some very rare bottled brown spirits that’ll break the bank—so if you want to splurge, this is place to do it. Live jazz and contemporary music round out the experience.

One of the most-intimate bars, and decadent in décor, on the Strip is Rosina Cocktail Lounge at The Palazzo. Try and snag one of the semi-private booths for real romance vibes. The champagne call button—yes, they’ll bring you champagne with the push of a button—will keep you seated and your date happy and giddy all night. Our last recommendation is o -Strip at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. The Shag Room (I mean, the name!) is bohemian-meets-Arabian nights-meets-Moroccan décor—visually, it’s such a cool setting. Enjoy delish bourbon cocktails and live blues music on Friday and Saturday nights. –Kiko Miyasato
